SPENCER

    It was one thing to be moving from a town to another but it's a completely other story when you're being forced to move out of the country. Now, here I am, moving out of America to England. I wasn't the happiest person at the moment. My father knew to not say a thing to me at the current moment, because honestly I may just snap. I sat down and looked out of the airplane window.

I was leaving so many things behind: my best friend, grandma, and boyfriend. I was going to have to start my junior year of high school from scratch. I held tightly on my phone as I received the couple last messages from my best friend and boyfriend.

Emily : Best friends since diapers and we will continue being best friends. I'm going to miss you so much Spenz but I promise I'll try to visit as long as you try to visit me. Have fun in England and make friends Spenz. You're the most amazing person I met so it won't be that hard but have fun and find yourself a hot British boy so you can dump Daniel.

I loved my best friend to the death. I know how she honestly feels about Danny so at this point I didn't mind. She's my best friend, she has a right to speak her mind about him. We have an honest friendship and that's why she's my best friend. She knows about the long arguments I have with him and how controlling he was at times but Daniel and I been through a lot. I wasn't going to just throw away my 4 year long relationship, I was going to try to make it work.

I decided to open Daniels message and prepared for what he had to say.

Danny : I'm going to miss your ass so much babe, have fun in England but not too much. I will see you soon and once I have enough money, I'll move down there with you. I love you Spencer Evelyn, nothing will ever change that.

I smiled a bit and then placed my phone in airplane mode. I plugged in my headphone and started the music for this 8 hour flight. A part of me was glad to be leaving America for only one reason.

A part of me had to get away from Daniel, I wanted to see how life was outside of this relationship that was slowly turning toxic. I loved him so much but he is too controlling and clingy. Even though he never laid a hand on me, I was afraid of him when he got mad.

A few months ago, i made a really close guy friend named Alec. We started as lab partners for chemistry but we ended up being great friends. We ended up becoming really close friends. He was a best friend of mine right after Emily. Daniel was fine with us being lab partners but he soon for angry when he would see Alec walk with me to classes or home since we lived by each other. He warned me to stop being friends with him, but I didn't take him serious at all. Later, I would go over Alec's house since we were friends and I knew Alec didn't like me in any way. He never once tried anything with me and I tried explaining it to Daniel but he never took me serious. That was until the day when Alec placed a small kiss on my cheek, everything just blew. I didn't think the kiss was a gesture of affection but just friends. That day, I went over to Daniel's house and it was the worst argument we had.

"What do you fucking mean Spencer? He kissed your cheek! I know how he feels about you but you're so blind that you won't see!" Daniel yelled as he began to grow in fury.

"It was just a kiss on the cheek! I wasn't making out with the guy completely! I love you Daniel and he's just a friend! I'm allowed to have guy friends just like your allowed to have friends that are girls! We are friends and nothing you do will ever change that!" I cried out angrily and I took a seat on the couch.

"I don't care. You're my girlfriend, you do as I say, you will stop talking to him. You are going to switch lab partners and you will stop walking with him everywhere. I may have graduated but that doesn't mean shit. I will know if you do or not Spencer." He walked over to me and got down to my level.
